Beaches in Kavala

The municipality of Kavala has a huge choice of beaches, with a long winding coast road which meanders from the village of Nea Peramos, 15 kilometres to the west of Kavala, all the way to the city centre.

Starting with the beaches near Nea Peramos, these are just beyond the village, approached through vineyards. The area is called “Ammolofoi”, or “Sand Dunes” and is made up of a series of bays, each with its own white sandy beach. During the summer there are free umbrellas and sunbeds with small bars which have waiter service from the beach. In peak season this area is busy with local bathers. However, for the rest of the year it is not uncommon to find an empty beach to oneself. Access by car is easy with many parking places at the roadside.

Heading east, having passed Iraklitsa, the road to Kavala passes through the village of Palio. Traditionally, this is a location where many people from Kavala have summerhouses. There is a playground, a small supermarket and many pretty little beaches overlooking “fydonisi”, or “Snake Island”. As people generally visit these beaches on foot from their homes, they tend to be relatively quiet and are ideal for swimming or sunbathing in peace.

Those seeking a more exclusive location should head to Tosca or Batis. These are privately owned beaches, which have an entry fee, (although fairly reasonably priced) allowing use of the shower facilities, sunbeds and umbrellas. There are also restaurants and bars.

Heading towards Kavala, we reach the district of Kalamitsa. This is the location of Grecophone Greek Language Courses and one of the most popular beaches in Kavala. It is a long thin strip of sand frequented by the locals and has ample free facilities including changing rooms, toilets and umbrellas with chairs and sunbeds. There are pedalos and canoes for hire as well as several cafes and bars.

Accommodation will be provided in a comfortable family home, also the location where daily lessons will be held.

The house is in a quiet neighbourhood which overlooks the bay of Kavala and the island of Thassos. There is a five minute walk to the local beach which has the European Blue Flag Award. This part of Kavala is called Kalamitsa and is approximately 2.5 km from the city centre, easily accessible by bus for less than €1. Buses pass every 15 minutes or so. This location offers all the benefits of a peaceful setting and everything that one would expect from a holiday destination.  There are water sports facilities and tavernas, whilst being near to the cultural attractions and amenities of the city which include a regular ferry to Thassos.

Arrival is on Sunday. Guests may arrive at any time after midday, with accommodation provided until the following Sunday morning.

Courses run throughout April and August of every year.
